Pierce Arrow Runabout 1909
Pierce-Arrow was an American automobile manufacturer based in Buffalo, New York, which was active from 1901 to 1938. Although best known for its expensive luxury cars, Pierce-Arrow also manufactured commercial trucks, fire trucks, camp trailers, motorcycles, and bicycles.
The forerunner of Pierce-Arrow was established in 1865 as Heinz, Pierce and Munschauer. The company was best known for its household items, especially its delicate, gilded birdcages. In 1872, George N. Pierce bought out the other two, changed the name to George N. Pierce Company, and, in 1896, added bicycles to the product line. The company failed in its attempt to build a steam-powered car in 1900 under license from Overman, but by 1901 had built its first single-cylinder, two-speed, no-reverse Motorette with an engine licensed from de Dion. In 1904, it produced a Pierce-Arrow. This became Pierce's most successful product. The solidly built cars with powerful engines two-cylinder car, the Arrow.
In 1903, Pierce decided to concentrate on making a larger, more luxurious car for the upscale market, the won positive publicity and the Glidden Trophy in 1905, an endurance run to celebrate the most reliable car. Thirty three entered the race from New York City to Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, which Percy Pierce won in a Great Arrow.
The noted industrial architect Albert Kahn designed the Pierce Arrow Factory Complex at Elmwood Avenue and Great Arrow Avenue in Buffalo, New York about 1906. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. George Norman Pierce sold all rights in the company in 1907, and he died three years later. In 1908, Pierce Motor Company was renamed The Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Company. In 1928, the Studebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana, gained control of the Buffalo firm. The association was to last for five years, with moderate benefits to both companies' engineering departments, which continued to function as separate entities.

My friend loves her daughter-in-law and I wanted her to have a magnet of the two of them together to put on her fridge. The picture was so clear and made so well. I'm sure they both loved it!

This is a very small refrigerator magnet (with artwork and text to be provided, and arranged using the ZAZZLE web site software, by the customer), and I would like to have a larger size. I ordered a quantity of eight refrigerator magnets. I think that they should have been individually packaged in order to prevent one item from scratching the other during transit. However, none of the items appeared upon arrival to have been scratched. The magnetic force is adequate to hold two sheets of good-quality bond paper securely against a refrigerator or metal filing cabinet, with one sheet in front of the other. I think that the durability of the refrigerator magnets is adequate—I have handled the magnets, and attached them to, and detached them from, a refrigerator while exercising reasonable care, and have encountered no failures. I see no evidence of demagnetization (i.e., loss of magnet strength). I am very pleased with these refrigerator magnets, as are the people to whom I have given them as small and inexpensive gifts. I recommend these refrigerator magnets, and would not hesitate to purchase them again in the future. One always feels very fortunate when one receives a purchased item, and finds it to be as good-looking as on the merchant’s web site. I was not disappointed in any way—I am delighted with the image and text resolution (sharpness and clarity) and the beauty and fidelity of the colors (hues and saturation). The refrigerator magnet is assembled from two parts: (1) The magnet, and (2) a relatively thin metal shell upon which the images and text are printed. The metal shell initially has a square shape, but then wedges of metal are cut away at each of the four corners, so that the shape of the metal shell then resembles a cross, with four short, stocky fingers. The images and text are then printed onto the metal shell with great clarity, because the entire metal shell is perfectly planar at this stage of the manufacturing process. Any portions of the images or text which happen to extend into the fingers will have the same clarity as at the middle of the cross. Then the fingers are folded around the magnet to complete the assembly of the refrigerator magnet. When I created my design, I crowded text very close to the upper and lower edges of the design boundaries, so that the text did indeed extend somewhat onto the fingers as the design was being printed, causing some portions of the text to wrap around the upper and lower edges of the completed refrigerator magnet when the final assembly was performed. This looks okay to me, because the text is still easily readable.
